During the Stanley Cup Final, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced that games #5 and #6 between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers set viewership records.

The fifth game drew 8.5 million viewers across North America, marking a 61% increase from the previous year. This surge can be attributed in part to the presence of the Canadian team, the Oilers, highlighting the significance of hockey in Canada.
Historically high viewership in previous finals involving teams like the Montreal Canadiens supports this trend. This increased popularity could potentially influence Bettman in future decisions, particularly regarding league expansion.
This announcement underscores the strong audience and enthusiasm for the 2024 final, reaffirming the enduring appeal of hockey in North American regions.
